In this episode, we'll address common myths surrounding protein intake for women, emphasizing that they do not need less protein than men, but rather a tailored amount based on lean body mass. We'll go over the essential roles of protein beyond muscle building, including hormone production and tissue repair. The conversation covers how to determine individual protein needs, signs of insufficient intake, and practical strategies for incorporating more protein into daily meals. Of course, I'll always encourage you to view protein as a vital nutrient for overall health rather than a means to only add muscle!
